Examples of a useful first message
See how to combine the date, servings, suburb, flavour, references and personal details in one clear enquiry. Use the quote checklist before messaging us so the first response can focus on the cake rather than collecting missing basics.
Six quote essentials
For a useful first quote, we mainly need six things. Add the other details only when they matter to your order.
Tell us the date the cake is needed. Add the handover time only when it is important.
Describe the occasion, theme or gallery cake you like. Attach reference images if you have them, or ask for design guidance.
Give us the serving count so we can advise a suitable cake size.
Choose a confirmed Amour Desserts flavour, ask for a recommendation, or share another idea for confirmation.
Include the name, age or wording, colours, toppers and must-have details, or write ‘none’.
Tell us whether you prefer delivery or pickup and include the suburb, venue or pickup location.
Only add these when relevant
Handover time: Add it when the cake must arrive or be collected by a specific time.
Finish preference: Mention buttercream, fondant or ‘not sure’ only if you have a preference.
Budget range: Optional, but useful when you would like us to suggest a suitable level of detail.
Allergen or dietary questions: Mention these in the first message when relevant so we can discuss the request before the order proceeds.
Example: I need a custom cake for 30 guests in Hoppers Crossing on 15 August. I like soft buttercream, blush colours, pandan flavour, and a gold topper that says Maya 40.
It works because it gives date, suburb, servings, finish, colour, flavour, and personalisation.
Example: How much for this cake? Add the date, size, flavour, location, must-haves, and which part of the photo matters.
With only a photo, say what you like: shape, colours, finish, topper, character, flowers, or mood.
Yes. Swap in your date, suburb, servings, flavour, and references.
Yes, if you have one. A budget range shapes a suitable design direction.
